- Locked ONDO is not tradable until vesting releases it.
- Unlocks release tokens to community, investors, team, and treasury.
- Bridged ONDO on other chains does not increase total supply.
ONDO is the token of the Ondo DAO, which governs the Flux Finance lending protocol. The Ondo Foundation, a Cayman Islands nonprofit founded in 2022, helped launch the DAO. To read an unlock headline, you need the token contract on Etherscan, Ondo's published vesting schedule, and a market tracker.
What ONDO supply means
The token contract fixes the total supply, so every ONDO that will exist was created at the start. Locked tokens are not tradable yet, and they cannot move until a vesting contract releases them. Circulating supply is the part free to trade. It rises when vesting contracts release tokens to the community, investors, team, or treasury.
How to check ONDO supply
No mining creates ONDO, so no computer work adds new tokens. New supply would require a contract change or a DAO-approved mint.

After you check: watch unlock news
Unlock news often names one category, such as community, investors, team, or treasury. The vesting schedule tells you whether that release was expected and how it fits the remaining locked tokens.
Frequently asked questions
No. ONDO has no mining or staking emission that creates new tokens. A contract change or a DAO-approved mint would be needed to change the total.
Ondo's public token materials describe no burn program. A burn would reduce total supply and would appear as a transaction on Etherscan.
Max supply is the cap coded into the token contract. Total supply is the number that exists right now. For ONDO the two match because no later minting is scheduled.
Releases follow the vesting schedule in Ondo's documents, which lists dates by category. The gaps differ between groups, so there is no single interval for every holder.
